Super Rugby: Blues vs. Hurricanes in Auckland (13/04/2013)

[sifplay]

The scrum was perfect there, creating the gap.

That was on the ball. Replay it and watch what was going on off the ball. Especially those flankers

So far so good..

Says the Blues fan.

I think Julian Savea has been pretty dangerous so far in limited space...

You see I typed that and then he perked up a bit. I wouldn't say he hasn't been dangerous (only an idiot would say that) but certainly in the first quarter I didn't see him turning it on like in previous matches and he has been seriously challenged by the Blues back three in attack and defense.

Yeah, illegal but it'd be very rare for the ref to call that up, smart rugby really.

 

[TRF Mr Fish]

While its halftime. My nomination for Prop defence of the year: Ben Franks! What an effort to catch a winger!

He's my pick for Prop attack of the year too

 

[Tekadus7]

Try Parsons. Good work by the Blues!

 

[Darwin]

Good try by Parsons. Blues building a good lead now...

 

[dasNdanger]

Nice hand-off, good try. Blues are owning this right now.

Why can New Zealand sides not handle the ball? It's getting out of hand. No pun intended.

 

[sifplay]

Yeah, illegal but it'd be very rare for the ref to call that up, smart rugby really.

Its becoming a serious concern. I had "one guy" timed at 14 seconds once holding back another to create a hole. Its still obstruction though

 

[sifplay]

Agree. Guy play a mean game of rugger

 

[Darwin]

Just about a 4th try there for the Blues... Piutau just fails to regather the kick..

EDIT: Try now for McCartney under the posts. Blues on fire!

 

[dasNdanger]

Blues are running away with this.

Haven't heard Savea the Younger's name mentioned more than once or twice...

 

[Darwin]

Haven't heard Savea the Younger's name mentioned more than once or twice...

Yep, he has been very quiet. I'm not too surprised - I don't think people can expect him to be outstanding every week....

Luatua is on fire again. He is the top performing NZ 6 in Super Rugby this season by some margin...

Thats good means he is doing his job

I hope they replace Messam in the All Blacks. Can't stand Messam. He's like Thomson, if you want a running player, put them on the wing, blindsides are meant to do the gritty stuff.

 

[sifplay]

Steven Luatua - undies outside the shorts son!

 

[Darwin]

Thats good means he is doing his job

Not necessarily. He is not a tight-forward.

Great, just like Lauaki
